News:: Nintendo responds to blind fan in braille, proving there's good in the world

While Nintendo does some confoundingly weird things like alienate hundreds of thousands of fans with archaic YouTube practices and the like, they're also known to break corporate character in ways that many other publishers don't.

One such gesture was done recently, as evidenced by a tweet from Twitter user @kentarock1020, who sent in a letter from his blind son telling Nintendo of Japan how much he loved the Rhythm Heaven series (known as Rhythm Tengoku in the east). His son, Hibiki, has been blind since the age of two as a result of life-saving surgery, and actually got a response back from the company.
